We went for an evening paddle on Clearwater lake. Only place to camp at this end of the park is a provincial campground which was totally reserved. We just asked the park ranger if she had any spots and luckily she had this double site cancel just an hour before we arrived. Otherwise it...

That night we camped at Dunn Lake and lucked out with the one of the nicest spots we've gotten at a rec site in recent memory. A little evening fish and paddle The fish were gorging on these guys The next morning, Nicole was trying to spot some wildlife Then onward to Wells Gray. First...

^ Thanks for all good words. It's so nice to be out and exploring again. That is definitely one drawback to building your own unit, the time building takes away from everything else. We just got back from a 6 day trip exploring Wells Gray provincial park and some of the surrounding area. Here...

Man this is an awesome build. Absolutely love these old rangers. That camper is perfect! Can't wait to see more.

Awesome build. Those OVRLAND campers are something else.

Found this gem of a spot the next night on a little unnamed lake. This lake was unreal for fishing. Small little pan fries, but every single cast. 2 weren't going to make it back so they hit the frying pan Antesy creek Driving up to the Antesy range Wicked cabin for anyone to use...

Day 3, exploring Seymour arm and Seymour river. Pictures don't do the size of these slugs justice. They are damn near 4" long. Quick morning paddle on Humamilt lake. Hiked into Albas falls Lobster mushroom on the side of the trail Dip in the falls Absolutely stacked...

^ Thanks. Bridging will 100% be an issue. Just on the couple of cooler nights we spent in it you could see a bit of condensation building up on the exposed aluminum members. I'm hoping the dry heat from the diesel heater will alleviate this a fair bit. We are also working towards skinning the...

^ Well thank you, I appreciate that. One of the last big pieces arrived today, I spent a lot of time researching this and trying to figure out the best route to go. I ended up settling on a planar 2d diesel heater. The quality seems to be quite high and the price is reasonable when compared...

Explored winifred falls swimming in/out Fresh blueberries and huckleberries everywhere at the moment. On the way to rainbow falls, unreal spot. One of the best showers I've ever had lol. Nicole on the left for scale. Literally picking lunch on the trail Then a quick...

I really appreciate that guys but there is definitely some way better stuff on this forum. Some absolutely unreal van builds and crazy campers. You would have to swap the whole Zr2 frame to pick up any lift or wider stance. The rear has different leaf spring mounting locations that are...

Just to tie into that last post, some more random tree fruit picking. Ended up picking 35lbs of plums and couldn't take anymore. Random outing, fishing/canoeing/mushrooming. Only caught one, but it was a beauty day. Completely forgot to take pics on the water. Falls below the dam on...

Holy smokes this build is unreal. Your attention to detail and craftsmanship is something dreams are made of. Seriously I'm blown away. Awesome work, the trim, sheeting, everything. So glad I found this thread.

Very cool to see how everything is going together. Love the overall design of it too. Keep up the great work.

Trying to figure out an easier system for removing and installing this set up. I think I'll be swapping this out for pulleys and some type of winch system. Maybe even another set of actuators? Milestone day, Just over a min from parked to fully set up. There is still a ton of things...

Nice little project this evening. As soon as I put the lights up top I didn't like how they weren't centered vertically on the front of the camper. So I picked up a piece of schedule 40 pipe and cut some coupons out of some scrap. Rigged up this nice little fixture to weld them up...

Got the harness put together for the actuators and switches yesterday. 2 momentary rocker switches, divided front/rear and a on/off master switch for power. I was worried about always having power to the switches if anything ever hit them or pushed them on by mistake that would be 300 lbs of...

^ Thanks. I wish we were getting out there more often though. Have a lot of missed time camping to make up. Knocked off a few things today. Originally built the bed tray not planning for actuators. Made some alterations to it today. Fits great again and tips all the way up to the ceiling...

Spent 20 mins or so this evening dialing in the gas struts. These things are set up almost perfectly now. The 1st door is set up for 5* over horizontal and the 2nd is set level to use as a table for cooking on. "

Yeah that was definitely a super rewarding moment. To see it move up and down and everything work together was pretty awesome. Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Honesty the actuators have been probably the easiest part. Got the gas springs from a local company Gemini gas springs. The...
